SQL comparison operators
Limited availability
InfluxDB Clustered is currently only available to a limited group of InfluxData customers. If interested in being part of the limited access group, please contact the InfluxData Sales team.
Comparison operators evaluate the relationship between the left and right
operands and returns true or false.
=
The = operator compares the left and right operands and, if equal, returns true.
Otherwise returns false.
SELECT 123 = 123
| Int64(123) = Int64(123) |
|---|
| true |
!=, <>
The != and <> operators compare the left and right operands and, if not equal,
returns true. Otherwise returns false.
SELECT 123 != 456
| Int64(123) != Int64(456) |
|---|
| true |
SELECT 123 <> 456
| Int64(123) != Int64(456) |
|---|
| true |
>
The > operator compares the left and right operands and, if the left operand
is greater than the right operand, returns true.
Otherwise returns false.
SELECT 3 > 2
| Int64(3) > Int64(2) |
|---|
| true |
>=
The >= operator compares the left and right operands and, if the left operand
is greater than or equal to the right operand, returns true.
Otherwise returns false.
SELECT 3 >= 2
| Int64(3) >= Int64(2) |
|---|
| true |
<
The < operator compares the left and right operands and, if the left operand
is less than the right operand, returns true.
Otherwise returns false.
SELECT 1 < 2
| Int641(1) < Int64(2) |
|---|
| true |
<=
The <= operator compares the left and right operands and, if the left operand
is less than or equal to the right operand, returns true.
Otherwise returns false.
SELECT 1 <= 2
| Int641(1) <= Int64(2) |
|---|
| true |
~
The ~ operator compares the left string operand to the right regular expression
operand and, if it matches (case-sensitive), returns true.
Otherwise returns false.
SELECT 'abc' ~ 'a.*'
| Utf8(“abc”) ~ Utf8(“a.*”) |
|---|
| true |
~*
The ~* operator compares the left string operand to the right regular expression
operand and, if it matches (case-insensitive), returns true.
Otherwise returns false.
SELECT 'Abc' ~* 'A.*'
| Utf8(“Abc”) ~* Utf8(“A.*”) |
|---|
| true |
!~
The !~ operator compares the left string operand to the right regular expression
operand and, if it does not match (case-sensitive), returns true.
Otherwise returns false.
SELECT 'abc' !~ 'd.*'
| Utf8(“abc”) !~ Utf8(“d.*”) |
|---|
| true |
!~*
The !~* operator compares the left string operand to the right regular expression
operand and, if it does not match (case-insensitive), returns true.
Otherwise returns false.
SELECT 'Abc' !~* 'a.*'
| Utf8(“Abc”) !~* Utf8(“a.*”) |
|---|
| false |
